commit d0c3601f2c4e12e7689b0f46ebc17525250ea8c3 upstream. A boot delay was introduced by commit79540d133e("net: macb: Fix handling of fixed-link node"). This delay was caused by the call to `mdiobus_register()` in cases where a fixed-link PHY was present. The MDIO bus registration triggered unnecessary PHY address scans, leading to a 20-second delay due to attempts to detect Clause 45 (C45) compatible PHYs, despite no MDIO bus being attached. The commit79540d133e("net: macb: Fix handling of fixed-link node") was originally introduced to fix a regression caused by commit7897b071ac("net: macb: convert to phylink"), which caused the driver to misinterpret fixed-link nodes as PHY nodes. This resulted in warnings like: mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: fixed-link has invalid PHY address mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 0 ... mdio_bus f0028000.ethernet-ffffffff: scan phy fixed-link at address 31 This patch reworks the logic to avoid registering and allocation of the MDIO bus when: - The device tree contains a fixed-link node. - There is no "mdio" child node in the device tree. If a child node named "mdio" exists, the MDIO bus will be registered to support PHYs attached to the MACB's MDIO bus. Otherwise, with only a fixed-link, the MDIO bus is skipped. Tested on a sama5d35 based system with a ksz8863 switch attached to macb0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
